Yeah... it does feel weird.  But sometimes more of a good thing can be... a good thing.  Pokemon and Zelda for example...

I have to agree it is weird seeing another Mario Galaxy game especially considering it feels like the original just came out yesterday. I think it's a good thing though and something they should start doing from now on. SMG was in what, 2007? 3 years is about right for the average sequel imo. 

I think it would have been weird had Super Mario Galaxy not been the game it was, not if Nintendo weren't the company they are, but it seemed like the most derivative and bland Mario game to date. Don't get me wrong, I liked it much as I'm expecting to like SMG2, but considering I loved everything before it, it was a let down.

Wait...

It is weird seeing Nintendo make games. 
 
Oh snap!

Nintendo doesn't make enough games, bitching. Nintendo makes a sequel faster than normal, bitching. Oh internet. 
And I would love to know what the kind of person who thinks Galaxy is derivative spends their time playing. Let's see. Just Cause 2, Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, Madden 09, Dirt 2, GTA4, Halo 3, Halo ODST- god you know, I'll just stop there.

Milk it for what's it worth.

Not really. Mario's in plenty of non-Mario games so he's always pretty ubiquitous I think.

You think calling the games you listed derivative (other than perhaps Madden but only due to the nature of its content) is any more reasonable than calling Galaxy 2 derivative? "MW2 is derivative because all you do is shoot people and bomb stuff" is as retarded as saying "Galaxy 2 is derivative because all you will do is jump on goombas and collect stuff".

3D Mario Games are the only 3D Platformers nowadays since Banjo became a vehicular thing. It's good to see an iteration of this because yo, Galaxy was pretty good, and they seem to be taking it in all the right directions. 
 
Bit troubling that they set off upon this thinking they'd release it as a Mario Galaxy 1.5. I guess that's probably a strong indicator that Japan hasn't caught on to DLC, the suggestion that a special edition isn't a terrible idea in this day and age.

I dont feel weird because i know it will be really good. 
 
I just wished they would have used their mountain of other great franchises.

I feel more weird about my Wii (No pun intended...seriously). I am on the fence about selling it, because I spend little to no time with it on a weekly basis. It's a bummer, because I might miss out on games like this, but buying the Wii and having a little less than a handful of great games isn't the best feeling.

I don't really mind a sequel because this is really SMG 1.5. I actually consider this a large expansion almost. They have even said it started off as stuff removed from SMG but they felt it was to good to just throw away. They were going to make a smaller game but it ended up as a full title. The thing is platformers like Mario are almost extinct and having more is welcomed. It isn't like a FPS like CoD which is pumped out every year along side 25 other titles similar to it. SMG was good enough and original enough to warrant a second game t

A Cloud Suit makes this sequel totaly relevant.

/thread

For real, the idea of a Nimbus cameo, even though SMRPG is kinda in retrospect only an okay game, totally gives me a semi. How can you have a cloud suit without bringing back the cloud people? Well you can't. Its a package deal.

 Super Mario Galaxy felt like the weakest 3d mario platformer game.  I wish they went and made more New Super Mario Bros. Games.  Those were nice. "

It doesn't feel weird to me but I didn't play Super Mario 64 when it originally came out, I picked the series up at Super Mario Sunshine.

To be honest I rather play another super mario sunshine than this galaxy crap. "

Sunshine had much more intuitive controls. Not sure what they tweaked in Galaxy but you feel less in control. Specific jumps are less responsive. And you can't bellybounce.

Money money moneeeeyyyyyy. 
 
But the game does look very fun. 

I really liked Galaxy, and this looks like more of it. Why would I not be excited?

Monsters Inc. 2? :O Oh yes, fuck yes!

The most interesting part of this thread. It's hard to believe Monsters Inc. came out eight and a half years ago. "

Well, it shows that the difference between 2D Mario fans and 3D Mario fans are getting bigger. At least you will be getting a ton more 2D sections in SMG2.
 

I does fell weird having the game coming out here shortly.  It wont be as mind blowing as the first game, but it will still be a fantastic game overall.

The way I see it, this is the last chance I Have of turning on my Wii until Zelda Wii.
 
Unless I pick up Metroid : Other M of course...
 
Also, Monsters Inc 2? This excites me more then Mario ever could...
